About Me

Blair is a Nurse Practitioner certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She earned her master’s degree from South University, Savannah. She loves caring for the Lynchburg community because, she gets to help save patients’ lives by identifying lung cancers early through lung cancer screening and lung nodule surveillance. She says, "I am rewarded by helping patients recover from surgery that often cures them from Lung Cancer, and I am blessed with the privilege of working with great colleagues." 

When she is not providing care at the Heart and Vascular Institute, she likes to spend her time with her husband, two children, and extended local family.

Ms Ford is the best medical provider that I have. Her knowledge, personality and patient concern far exceeds anyone else that I see.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of Centra by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Centra uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff. In order to support full transparency, Centra ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in Centra’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
